“Well, it depends on which territory. They fought, they lost a lot of territories. And we get, we will do our best, work in Ukraine. We will do everything in our power. But they lose a lot of territories,” Trump replied.
The US president repeated that “Crimea was moved to Russia under the presidency of Barack Obama.”
“It had nothing to do with me, Crimea. 11 years ago in Obama. And they made a decision. No one shot. No fights. Nothing. They just gave it. Now they said:” Can you bring it back? “I think it was very hard to do. I think it was very difficult to do. Barack Obama did this when he was president, and not Donald Trump,” he said.
